Inkscape has two tools to do this. There is the new node tweaking tool that
allows you
to sort of sculpt the nodes. Another possibility is node sculpting. Select
a group of
nodes, then alt-click and alt-drag on it. It will move and sort of
proportionally drag
other nodes along with it.

Save the file as an .svg from Inkscape and pull that file in to GIMP. If the
svg file loader in GIMP is rasterizing the SVG
Inkscape can do that sort of thing. AFAIK, Gimp doesn't natively have this
capability,
tho I suppose somebody could write a plugin. But you could do it in Inkscape
and then
import it into Gimp, either as a bitmap, or as a path.

Curve Bend (under Distorts) does exactly that. You can set the upper
and lower shapes
